Otherworldly Heroes

Naofumi Iwatani– The Hero of the Kitchen. Past experience with Bitch has made him dark and cynical. Still a generally nice person. His alcohol constitution is god-tier. Out of the Heroes, he is the only one who has learned the written language, and the only one who doesn’t need a crystal ball for magic. He is also the only one who treated the world as a world and not a game. He has thus learned to manually concoct medicine and scavenge for materials, something the other heroes left to their weapons. His cooking skill makes him an ungodly chef. He unlocked the weapon systems of the other heroes, something they were too stubborn to do. In his old world, he was not killed. The Main Character, by the way. The sin he has unlocked is Wrath (Against the people of the world). After overcoming his Wrath, he unlocked the virtue of Compassion. Itsuki notes that it is possible that he has certain ESP, causing him to be a perpetual Agro.

Motoyasu Kitamura– The Hero of the Crotch… I mean spear… Same thing, really. A nice person who is easily fooled. He was an idiot who will listen to anything a woman says. His connection to Bitch made him a sort of antagonist, but he was really more of a nuisance. He was a skirt chaser who hit on both Raphtalia and Firo the second he laid eyes on them (well, in Firo’s case, the second he laid eyes on her human form). In his old world, he was stabbed by a yandere for cheating on her. He is the oldest hero. He is now officially broken, and has developed an obsession for Filo Rials. He can now only see women as pigs in the literal sense. He raised tan army of Filo Rials because he couldn’t get Firo’s attention. His sins are Lust (For Firo) and Envy (For Naofumi’s position of being loved by Firo).

Ren Amagi– The Hero of the Sword. A lone wolf, though he cares for his comrades to some extent, he does not get close to them. He is terrible at team play. He carelessly killed the old Gaelion. In his old world, he failed to save his childhood friend and was instead killed in the process of her rescue. He is the youngest hero. The world he came from was a futuristic one in which Virtual Reality was standard fare. Naofumi once noted that if he crossdressed, no one would suspect he was male. After his companions die, he fell into despair, and thus he followed Bitch when she offered kind words to him. After being abandoned by her, he had a brief stint as a bandit, after which he came under Female Knight’s tutelage. His sins are Greed (For Power) and Gluttony (For Power).

Itsuki Kawasumi(Perfect Hidden Justice)– The Hero of the Bow. Rumored to be the strongest Hero. He has a messiah complex, and is pretty much a justice maniac. He vanquishes (So called) evildoers without thinking of the consequences of his actions. However, this is just because he is immature. He doesn’t actually have any bad intentions. In his old world, he was killed when a large truck took a sudden left turn (In Japan, you drive on the left side of the road, so a left turn can be unforeseen). Though Naofumi thought he came from a normal world, he comes from a futuristic one with 30TB Harddrives, and ESPers. His ESP is Accuracy, which increases his concentration and accuracy. Due to the events of the Justice Rebellion, he is currently broken, in that he will agree to whatever anyone asks him to do. He is under Rishia’s care at Naofumi’s village. His curse has mostly healed, but he’s still faithful to the village for unknown reasons.

Seven Star Heroes

Alps (Real Name Fohl)– The Hero of the Gauntlet. A Hakuko (White Tiger) demi-human who cared for nothing but protecting his sister. Upon her loss, he swore to treat everyone around him as dearly as he treated her. He now is friendly to Naofumi, because he’s the one his sister loved

Trash(Former AultClay Melromarc XXXII)– The Hero of the Cane, and former wise king of Melromarc. Clearly, his rationality has decreased with years. He hates the Shield Hero because he fought a war with Siltwelt, a country that worships him. As punishment for his discrimination against Naofumi, his name has been left in its current state and he has been demoted. He is of Faubley royalty, and he left for Melromark, because he couldn’t stand their lenient policy towards Demi-Humans. His parents were killed by members of the Hakukos, and no one stepped forward to take any action against them. So he fought, and fought, and eventually came to be known as the enemy of the entire Hakuko Race. But his beloved sister went missing by Hakuko hands, and he never saw her again. He’s most likely Atlas and Fohl’s uncle. The Name AultClay comes with the title of King. His original name was Luge Lancarose.

Rishia Ivyred– The Hero of the Projectile. The daughter of a fallen noble. She was at the bottom of the pecking order, but stayed with Itsuki because she felt in debt to him. Naofumi recruited her after she was abandoned by the bow due to the similarities in their situations. She is a Jack of all Trades, and can cast Magic, Heal and use a sword. This quality also extends to her magic, and she can control most magic attributes to some extent. While this means that she cannot get very powerful in a specific element, she can use complex synthesis spells. She has also begin training in Hengen Musou, and has been called a genius by her teacher. After acquiring the penguin plushy, she has gotten herself into cosplay, and currently wears the Filo Rial suit into battle.

Midori– The Hero of the Axe. A Filo Rial King who was among the first three Motoyasu bought. He is green in color, hence his name. In battle, he fights in human form, swinging around his axe. He can also use poison, and control the decay of objects. Despite his gender, he’s gunning for Motoyasu’s D.

Taniko (Real name Wyndia)– The Hero of the Whip, though she doesn’t want to be. A girl who is good at raising monsters. Abandoned as a child, she was raised by Gaelion. But crazy things happen on the mountain, and it was up to Gaelion to protect her new home. After Gaelion died, she was captured and sold off as a slave. Through a turn of luck, she ended up at Naofumi’s village.
The reason she is called Valley girl is because of this movie scene :

Raphtalia– The Hero of the Hammer. A Tanuki Demi-human. Naofumi picked her up when she was a slave and pretty much raised her. She want’s Naofumi to look at her as an adult. Her real age is around 10 but she looks around 20 as Demi-humans age as they level. She uses a sword and illusion (Light and Dark) magic, but has begun to be able to use a wider variety of magic types after the Class Up. Under the tutelage of the Melromark Court Magician, she studied magic, and learned Hengen Musou from the combat instructor.

Firo– The Hero of the Claw. A Filo Rial Queen. Naofumi bought her egg from the same slave trader that he got Raphtalia from. She is an incredibly rare species, with the only other known Queen being the one that leads all Filo Rials, Fitoria and the Filo Rials raised by Motoyasu. Perhaps all Filo Rials raised by heroes become royalty. The author has personally likened her to the Angel/Fallen Angel/Arch Angel/Giant Mecha Robot Flonne from Disgaea in looks. Her age in months can be counted on two hands. She attacks with Kicks and can use some types of magic. She dreams to one day be able to spit poison. When Naofumi went insane, he granted her the ability to fly.

Fitoria– The Hero of the carriage, and a damn fine carriage it is. I mean look at that thing. How could any Filo Rial resist the urge to pull that carriage. She’s a Filo Rial Queen, and despite her ability to use human speech, she refrains from doing so due to a vow with a Hero of the past.

Other Heroes

Glass– The Hero of the Fan. Not a Hero of this world. She is a spirit from the world connected through the wave. She was able to defeat the Sword, Lance and Bow single-handedly, but lost to Naofumi.

Tact – The Hero of the Whip, Claw, Projectile, Axe, Hammer, Cane(For like 5 minutes), Gauntlets(even less time), and Shield (?). A Super Genius(Lol) native to this world. He accomplished feats befitting of a genius, and learned how to take control of other legendary weapons. An antagonist, who the other heroes suspect to be a reincarnated individual from a modern world. After instigating a rebellion against the order of the World, he was defeated, and executed.

Known Companions

All have been selected as Heroes at this point.

The Lance

Kuu (Red), Marin (Blue)– Filo Rials that follow Motoyasu. They are the only named ones among his flock, and are of the three original eggs Motoyasu bought, alongside Midori. Kuu fights with Kicks, and fire breath attacks, while Marin fights by throwing feathers, and using long-ranged magic.

Other Filo Rials– The man has his own army, and they’re all of Filo Rial royalty. These guys also try to get Naofumi’s attention, as getting Motoyasu’s is way too easy. Note, Motoyasu has not done this and that or even THAT to them, because he treats them as children. They are a few months younger than Firo, who he does want to do that with.

The Sword

Female Knight (Real Name Eclaire Seattle)–
A knight sent by the Queen to watch over Naofumi’s progress in the village. Is amazed by the behavior of Naofumi’s monsters.

Gaelion– A dragon with the body of a child and the mind of an adult. He houses the spirit of Taniko’s father, also called Gaelion. His original mind is still intact, though.

and a bit of earth. She may or may not be a Tsundere.

He made most if not all of the equipment worn by Naofumi as well as his carriage. Also responsible for teaching Raphtalia the basics of Swordsmanship. His skills come from a blacksmith from the east.
He wants Naofumi to find another blacksmith as he believes his skill
to be sub-par.

He also conducts slave and monster seal rituals for hum. Upon Naofumi’s orders, he has begun searching for and collecting the slaves who were formerly villagers of Rfatalia’s village. He has an uncle who’s appearance is identical to his own living in Zeltburg.

She has gained the ability to transform into a dog. In this form, she looks like a Siberian Husky puppy. She also gained the ability to turn into a Cerberus, but in that form, she’s still a puppy. Despite her current engagement to the Crepe Tree, she finds Fohl to be cool. Mostly his transformation ability.

Imya(Full Name Imya Lucullan Lisella Tereti Quariz)– A Lemo (Mole Type) Beast Man (Female) who was taken in by Naofumi due to her race being one that specializes in skilled labor. She has begun making clothing.

Rat (RatotylAnthreya)– A skilled alchemist who specializes in monsters. She was kicked out of work by a Seven Star Hero, who said her research was a sin against God.

She hopes this will eventually lead to Monster Human Equality.

Sadina– An Orca demi-human and a former villager. She is quite strong, and is admired by the other villagers. She loves to drink, and wants to marry Naofumi, because he beat her in a drinking contest. If her magic runs low, she takes on a more human-like form.

Piyo– A special Filo Rial, and Firo’s only disciple. A different species from the rest. By Motoyasu’s influence, he has become a King. Though he is highly intelligent, and capable of Human Speech, he acts like a stupid animal to gain Naofumi’s attention.

Other

Accessory Merchant– A prominent merchant who respects Naofumi’s greed. He taught him many things about crafting.

Bitch(Former Malty Melromarc)– The princess of Melromarc that tricked Naofumi and made him into what he is today. Her name is a punishment for said acts. She has not repented for a single second and always tries to find ways to eliminate Naofumi as she believes it is his fault that her name is stuck as Bitch. She has a twisted personality and tries to manipulate everyone. Uses fire magic and a bit of wind. She discarded the Spear and the Sword. Her current location is unknown. Alternative acceptable names (By royal decree) are Whore and Slut. Naofumi also combined Whore and Bitch to form Witch. Thinking it was a surprisingly fitting name, he submitted it to the Queen and got it approved, however the name is actually less insulting to English audiences. Current Status Deceased… Oh wait, surprise, surprise. No, now she’s dead for sure…right?

Woman 2– On Bitch’s side. Uses Magic

Shadow– A ninja-like person who serves the queen. He/She watches over Naofumi and used to be Melty’s bodyguard. Her way of speech is strange as it amused Melty.

Obscure tidbit about the Dunes (earthworm monsters), their name is quite likely taken from the “Dune” series of books by Frank Herbert. Wriiten over thirty years ago, has been adapted as a movie, and as a TV series at one point.

rishia reminds me of an onion knight her character build that is, jack of all trades, can use magic, slow to power up, stats sky-rockets after reaching certain level, probably the strongest hidden potential, etc.

hope she gets the full onion set, she already have the filorial costume (chocobo armor) and penguin costume. wait, she likes wearing costumes? is she a moogle?

I just noticed that Naofumi is the only hero that was summoned without having died in his original world, so that could be the reason that he has the most wit about his surrounding, the other heroes died so maybe they thought they were in video game heaven.

Shouldn’t Female Knights name be changed to Eclaire Seatto or at least “Female Knight (Eclaire Seatto)” since it was already revealed? Plus, I’m pretty sure there are already some colored pictures of her.

On a side note, considering the most recent translated chapter, should “Status: Deceased” be added to Bitch’s profile?

Also that Rishia’s cosplaying seems to have been a phase she was going through while she lacked self-confidence. She hasn’t worn a single costume since her training with Granny, not even as pajamas. Mind you, it could also be because she wants to show off her “good side” to Itsuki.

not true actually. we all are ASSUMING bitch is dead. but they mentioned either just befor she was sent to the pig lord or just after that she had learned to use that disguise skill of the shadows. so MAYBE she disguised a body to be hers and got away? she could still be at large and noone knows O.O

I find it funny that Naofumi ended up with a harem/surrounded by women anyway….though it’s a good thing he didn’t end up like Motoyasu…. Also, it’s going to be awkward as heck when Naofumi decides to ask Old Man what his name is.

Is there any significance to the fact that Naofumi was the only hero who did not die before being summoned to this world? I’ve been wondering about this since I first learned of it… seems to be odd that all the others get a second life while Naofumi just happens upon a book describing this world and is summoned despite being alive. Was that left behind behind by a hero who returned?

I wonder if it has to do with how the waves are a result of colliding worlds. As the original worlds of the Spear, Sword, and Bow are gone and dead, perhaps that’s now a requirement for their summonings? As this is the shield’s native world, it can summon someone who DOES have a chance to return home? The dead, after all, can never go back.

Spoilers ahoy, so skip if you haven’t finished and don’t want to be spoiled

I don’t recall if it is outright explicitly explained, but it has everything to do with the fact that the “natural” state of a world is to have one summoned “hero” and two lesser native “Star” heroes. The wave’s leaving remnants of the destroyed worlds that failed to win are where the extra heroes all originated, absorbed into the “winning” world in an attempt to stabilize itself. But because the other heroes are empowered by weapons from dead worlds, any summoning only can grab those literally in the process of dying. Essentially, the real hero of that world was the shield hero, and pure “humans” were all originally from another world which has need destroyed in the “waves”, which actually explains where the origin of the latent hate is from, even if the current generation no longer remembers. So Naofumi was properly summoned while fully alive, while the other three were grabbed at their weakest, moments before/after their true deaths

We have still not even seen a single picture of what either Hakuko siblings look like neither when they first arrive nor at the time of the unfortunate incident. I would still like to know what Atlas and Fohl look like.

Dude why that song ? It’s a good refrence but evry time I hear it I get feels freaking hits me like a truck an my eyes start getting attacked by the onion ninja …..(but to be honest thanks I almost forgot about the image )

Rishia is (probably), but since Tact stole the power of the weapon, she just have an incomplete weapon. There is no hero of hammer anymore, Tact, killed him/her/it and stole the weapon. It’s the same for axe and claw.

Yes (Yoraikun forgot the hammer in his weapon list). He can steal the power, but not completly, that why Rishia can have the projectile, but not as a complete weapon. It could probably be possible for the other weapons but Tact killed their owners, they didn’t choose another ones.

End now the current Seven Star Heroes goes to:
Trash as Hero of Cane
Fohl as Hero of Gauntlet
Rishia as Hero of Projectile
Rapthalia as Hero of Hammer
Firo as Hero of Claw
Wyndia as Hero of Whip
Midori as Hero of Axe

nope, each world only normally has a SINGLE legendary weapon, and the lesser Two Star Heroes. It’s the collisions of these worlds when survivors remain AFTER a wave ends (and their side loses!) that’s the cause of the 4 legendary weapons and Seven (really 8) Star heroes. Was it ever established if Glass was the bearer of a legendary weapon or her world’s star weapons?

If your interested can you translate Toaru Ossan no VRMMO Katsudouki. No one is doing it. I’ve read both translated manga and novel but unfortunately they were dropped. It look so good. Please check it and may be it will grab your interest. Original web novel link (http://ncode.syosetu.com/n2797bm/).
SYNOPSIS:
Typical company employee Tanaka Daichi (38 years old, single) loves games and plays a new type of VRMMO called “One More Free Life Online” under the username “Earth”. Inside this free world he chose several skills that are generally regarded as useless. Be it wasting time crafting potions, cooking up pointlessly tasty food, or hunting monsters with some absurd weapon he crafted, he simply enjoys playing the game.

If possible can you translate Kaettekite mo Fantasy!?. Red Dragon Translation doing it but the updates is kinda slow. He is not so active. It has great potential. Please I really really like to read it so much and I’m curious what happens in the following chapters. Here is the link to Red Dragon Translation (https://reddragontranslations.wordpress.com). Please check it if your interested. Original web novel link (http://ncode.syosetu.com/n8514bp/)
SYNOPSIS:
One day, a boy accidentally fell into a dimension hole. What awaited him was a world of so-called sword and magic. Following a two year journey through this new world, he returned home, but not without experiencing disasters, wars and schemes. Upon his return to “Earth”, he found out that it has begun to intertwine with another world, named “Garesuto”. The world of technology in which he grew has been changed into a fantasy one. His parents divorced and he had no friends anymore. This boy with a new and different knowledge and overall ability gained from another world chose to hide it for a variety of reasons. Nevertheless, his actions, accustomed to turmoil and war, are what make him different from his homeworld, the Earth that he knew.
This story happened because he returned.

I think Atlas deserves more than what is mentioned here. Just saying coz I kinda like Atlas mainly because she is one of the few characters in all of manga/LN that do as instructed and not do unwanted crap.
